Bess system for solar factory in Malta

How does the Bess project affect PV generation in Malta?

The BESS project is also intended to mitigate weather-related challenges posed by renewable energy sources, which are reliant on climatic conditions and can therefore lead to significant dips in generation during moments of sudden cloud coverage severely affecting the PV generation in Malta.

Why is the Bess project important for Malta?

Interconnect Malta divisional manager Joseph Vassallo said the BESS project was an important milestone for Malta as it would contribute to modernise its distribution network with the installation of large power-electronic converters connected to Malta’s 33kV system for energy conversion and flexibility services.

Are Bess systems the key to modernizing Malta''s distribution network?

She emphasized that initiatives like these are vital steps toward large-scale renewable projects, such as offshore wind. Dr. Ing. Joseph Vassallo, Divisional Manager at ICM, highlighted that the BESS systems are key to modernizing Malta’s distribution network.

What is a solar energy Bess system?
